TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here's a look at what we are working on for tonight's broadcast of The CBS Evening News from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric: Hi everyone, Few Americans share the viewpoint of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas. Members of this obscure church have protested at military funerals, alleging that U.S. war deaths are God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality. But the question before the Supreme Court isn't whether their protests are offensive. They are. The issue is whether they have the right to voice that opinion. This is a landmark case that zeroes in on the outer limits of the First Amendment right to free speech. Chief Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford was at the high court for today's arguments. The U.S. needs Pakistan's help to fight the war in Afghanistan. But the alliance has been frayed lately. The Pakistanis are upset over a U.S. helicopter attack in which several Pakistani soldiers were killed by mistake. Today, the U.S. apologized for the attack. Also today, in a major development, we got word that the Taliban leadership is reaching out to Afghanistan's government to start reconciliation talks. What does this mean for the U.S.?

The loss of so many bees has huge ramifications for America's agriculture and flower industry. While we've been reporting on this for several years, tonight CBS News correspondent, John Blackstone will tell you why scientists may finally know what the problem is. Finally, we rarely, if ever, use the term "miracle" when reporting on medical stories. But the term may fit in tonight's closing piece. A 12-year-old boy, born without ears, can finally hear, thanks to some amazing and complex surgery. CBS News correspondent, Bill Whitaker has the emotional story. See you tonight.
